seats allocated to the combined Lepcha and Bhutia populations. One Lepcha-
Bhutia seat is reserved for the nominee of the lamas (Tibetan
Buddhist religious leaders); some seats also are reserved for representatives of
the Scheduled Castes. The final court in the judiciary system is the High Court

cases, and sessions courts, which generally handle civil cases; judicial
magistrates rule on criminal offenses.
